yep it me

Arty and Mathias stand in it quietly, not needing to say anything. The sun’s almost gone, but there’s still enough glow to catch their eyes.
A pause, a look, and the feeling that everything is exactly where it’s meant to be.

The pieces I do are meant to be loved, not just approved, or feeling like a drawing factory to say "this is done, what's next", I think each piece needs to say something to someone, and I'm so glad this one achieved that for Arty and Mathias. I usually don't say this on my captions but I'm so proud of this one.

Traditional. Acrylic on canvas.
Piece for Arty, the fennec fox, and Mathias, the arctic wolf.

There is also a full version of that video, as well as the high resolution and the scanned of this piece, along other pieces that I haven't even shared on my galleries yet. All this is exclusive for those who support me on Patreon or Ko-Fi, that also helps me to keep creating art (and hopefully I can get a point where I can work more on my own projects, including new comics):

Saw Prof Gina Rippon at the Norwich science festival a few years back…brilliant, funny and made neuroscience very accessible.

So glad she’s taking the fight to those who are claiming there is is an ‘over diagnosis’ of #autism taking place right now.

A diagnosis brings relief, self-understanding for adults and the hope of support for children /young people who desperately need it.

sorry everyone, my third wish from the genie was to make the world's electrical standards weirder.

south america is now using 70hz 40v AC, france & belgium are strictly DC outlets (no AC), and apple products are all on 3.3v USB. AA batteries are now 9v, and 9v batteries are still called that but they provide 6v.

i like Keith Haring's style. i think there's an adult focused LEGO decorative set of one of his works, and they're all seperate figures with stands you can posiition any way you want
@cardboard i saw those here locally; i really want to pick a set up :3

sounds good :3. currently my interest with LEGO kind of leans more towards the older 80s, 90s and 2000s sets, but modern LEGO sets are still fun uwu

I'm writing a little story and there's a fursuiter character in it, and I can't think of a good name for them. It's the narrator's fursona, doesn't really matter what species or anything, I just want something a bit less boring than I have currently. As a placeholder, they're a dog called Bouncer, but if you have a better suggestion, I'd love to know. 🙂 (I figure if I get some kind of outside input it'll give me the obligation to actually finish the story and get it online soon!)

Wow, I really sat and watched this whole thing before I realized it was 53 minutes long, or that it was almost sunrise.

Uh, anyway, Kezzie's a furry YouTuber and made a video about their drug addiction. It's worth a watch.

I have no idea how people manage to talk in fursuit, and not only talk, but *give* actual hour-long talks. Examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG4zQ8XYD84
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE20gAvnru0

I can barely talk at all in suit, and I don't *want* to talk (I'd much rather be silent). I don't know how people do it.

Pippin friendica
I suppose part of it might be that I've (still) never had a truly *good* fursuit. I've never felt I could afford to commission one, the two and a half fursuits I have are second hand and have all sorts of things wrong with them, so they are not good for breathing or speaking, and I've never been able to get the time and energy together to build a suit for myself. I have no reason to believe I'll ever be able to afford to commission a good suit, despite being deeply in love with fursuiting and absolutely aching to have one. But you can't unless you are rich, I guess.

Here's Spottacus giving a talk at Berkeley for 'Furries at Berkeley'... In fursuit, of course.

https://youtu.be/uE20gAvnru0

I think it was EF where I first met him, and he had so much energy. He was a personality that radiated.

I only got a few opportunities over the years to talk.

He will be missed.

The view gets better with every step. Riff leads the way, steady and sure, while Procyon takes a moment to pause on a nearby rock, looking back for a second the path they've already walked.

The scenery of this piece is inspired by a real hike, through a place that already felt a bit like a painting, nearby Snowdon, in Wales, UK

The whole "Is AI dangerous?" debate reminds me of the opening scenes to "Superman" (1978) in which Jo-El is predicting catastrophe and being told to wind his neck in by the rest of Krypton's political body. Similarly with "AI" before we KNOW it to dangerous it might be too late.

One of the coolest developments since I left college is that archivists and conservators no longer recommend wearing white cotton gloves when handling rare books and manuscripts. They now recommend just washing your hands before handling them, and you’re good. It decreases risk of damage and brings back tactile senses!
1 1
Colin mastodon (AP)

really? Seems like hand oils would still eventually pose a problem.

Depends on what's being handled / storage etc though.

Tilton Raccoon mastodon (AP)
@colinstu some things, like leather bindings and vellum, are actually much better off getting some skin oil on them!
Colin mastodon (AP)
yeah I'm thinking paper and paper-like things. And paintings.
Leaf Dubois mastodon (AP)
When did this start? As far as I know, the gloves are still standard practice at the National Gallery of Art in Wash DC. (Mom's a docent there and she arranged a private viewing of Dürer, Rembrandt, and Escher prints/originals. We did the gloves thing when handling them. It was so cool.)

The hottest thing in local Seattle politics is the city's war on Saint Rat / Hot Rat Summer, a mosaic that someone put up (without permission) on the old pumphouse in Cal Anderson Park last year. Recently, city workers have been painting over the mosaic, and good citizens have been cleaning off the mosaic to restore it when they do so. It is a fierce battle, and one I hope the citizens win. We must fight for Hot Rat Summer.

Moving a few papers in my office, I came across a print of this image from a long, long time ago. I dug it up on one of my computers — the file is timestamped January 2003!

The second image is the file I originally downloaded (but a reverse image search comes up with nothing so I have no idea where it's from any more), and the first is what I printed out to put on my wall after I edited the stripes a bit.

I've had this up on the wall for literally decades but only really noticed it again after taking it all down to move house. It's sitting in a pile of other prints, waiting for me to get round to finding some way to display them all again.

Of course I came across another few nice zebrataurs while trying to find the origin of this one!

Just one day before heading to Anthrocon I got to do this painting to give it there in person as a surprise.

It was a small way to say thank you for something that meant a lot to me. My best way I can express myself is through paint and a smiling character.
So here's this yote boy, saying hi on my behalf, with all the warmth I couldn’t quite put into words.

"AI" is not only bad for people that use it, it's bad for people that don't, and the neighborhoods around the huge data centers that it takes to power it. Whatever tiny amount of good some people are able to squeeze out of this trash is nothing compared to the harm and waste its existence mandates.
